Krooshoop

1983 - 2022

Cook Southland Funeral Chapel - Krooshoop(2022)

It is with a brave face and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Elise Krooshoop in Medicine Hat, Alberta on Friday, March 4, 2022, age 38 years. Elise was born on March 23, 1983, in Bow Island, Alberta, the third child and only daughter to proud parents, Ria Welbourne and John Krooshoop. Elise moved to Medicine Hat at the age of 5 where she remained until the age of 15. She ultimately returned to Medicine Hat to raise her two boys, Atlas and Tytan Herter.

As a single mother, Elise became a registered nurse and was proud to be recognized as a health care professional. Elise was simply good at what she did. She had a passion for spiritual healing, was a great listener and carried powerful energy. When Elise loved, she loved with all her heart and she simply had a contagious energy about her that everyone naturally gravitated towards.

Elise enjoyed golf, fishing, baseball, camping, gardening, cooking, dancing, and all things that involved friends and family.

Elise will be remembered as a wonderful mother, sister, daughter, aunt, friend, and caregiver. Elise, we will be seeing you, in all the old familiar places, that you made better with your smile and grace.

She is survived by her two boys, Atlas and Tytan Herter; her special pet dogs, Luna and Angel; parents, Ria Welbourne and John (Daria) Krooshoop; four siblings, Taria (Curtis) Gouw, Scott Krooshoop, Clinton Massong and Michael (Corinna) Krooshoop along with a large list of extended family in Canada and the Netherlands.

    Ria and family
    I was so very saddened to hear of the loss of beautiful Elise. I will never forget the first time I picked Courtney up from your house they were 8, where they were playing nun and priest. Sweetness
    Elise would always make a point of coming over and saying hi to me whenever she would see me. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel. Xxoo

    Please accept my heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Elise was my boss at the clinic since 2019, she taught me a lot and I admired the connection she had with her patients. She gave her all to her patients and I deeply respected that. I will miss our random texts and phone chats, she was very interesting to talk to. RIP Elise, until we meet again....
